My "Invasion" Quadrilogy

This is the trailer I quickly knocked up (using iMovie) for the third installment of my Invasion trilogy....named "Homeworld". Still using Hitfilm Ultimate 2.0. Each week I discover some new effect or technique. Gold help me when I start using the newer versions (which I have).

Okay.....I made my first little movie (Invasion) using FXhome's old VisionLab software a few years ago. Whilst it was the best I could do at the time (using real kit models), I was quite limited by what camera shots I could do with them. So immediately after I finished the film, I began delving into Hitfilm Ultimate 2's capabilities, and realized 3D models were the way to go, so I "re-edited" my film (thus calling it "Invasion 2014) and replaced 99% of the kit models for CGI ones (and tossed in a couple of other 3D models for good measure). I also made great use of the motion tracking feature (which is a Godsend). Unfortunately I didn't use the tracking on my alien's eyes (as I had by then tossed all my original footage)....so they wobble quite a bit. I made up for it though by tracking their eyes in the sequel So......this was my first little film -

The second installment of my trilogy was "Operation: Assassination". By this time I was solely just shooting with my iPad, and filming actors only at their convenience, hence it took so long to make (as I hate encroaching on people's free time). I'm the only nerd in this group . Also, most scenes were a blue screen environment (as us amateurs didn't want to go to real locations wearing those silly costumes). With this one, I started to explore the "Particles Engine" stuff, so a couple of scenes feature some very primitive shots using that. So this is how it turned out -

@WedgeOz Well that is some impressive amount of work you did there, not had time to view it all, I'll wait until tonight, however the trailer above has some very slick looking titles, liking those a lot. If anything they might be a tad professional for the rest of the production (not that I'm knocking it, but the titles look big budget TV).

Paul, I think you'd started Homeworld. I just encouraged you to finish it.

I wasn't expecting you to leave it on a cliffhanger.

You know, if it really does take a century for "Paul" and "Luke" to get back, time dilation will keep them unchanged, but I wonder if "Mrs. Paul" would have been locked in cryo by the computer to shut her up from everytime she came around to ask where her husband and son are. Just sayin'...

Haha.....just the third one, as I thought the effects were "cleaner" in that one. It is after all, an "effects fest" and not much on storyline. For all I know I am the only submission in that category....but doesn't matter, it's just thrilling to have it accepted, screened and viewed by others.
